Former nuclear physicist, high ranking Pentagon scientist. Former head of the DIA's Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate. In this capacity, he oversaw the funding and tasking of Grill Flame. Another project he oversaw, code-named Sleeping Beauty, dealt with researching microwaves and how they effect the human mind.

A recent Defense Intelligence Agency report asserted that the Soviet military industrial base ''is by far the world's largest in number of facilities and physical size and it produces more individual military systems in greater quantities than any other nation.''

The agency put the number of Russians employed in defense industry at 8,900,000 in 1981 compared with 5,500,000 in 1965. The report estimated that defense spending has grown at a rate of 6 or 7 percent since 1970 and that in 1981 it absorbed between 14 and 16 percent of the Soviet Union's gross national product.

A Defense Department intelligence official yesterday said the Government was concerned that American advances in biotechnology might be ''turned against us'' by the Soviet Union and used to create exotic new germ weapons against which there might be no defense.

Dr. John H. Birkner, a scientific and technical intelligence manager for the Defense Intelligence Agency, called upon the American biotechnology industry to cooperate with the Government in identifying technologies that may be dangerous and taking steps to keep them from potential adversaries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Carroll_(DIA)

Lieutenant General Joseph Francis Carroll (March 19, 1910 – January 20, 1991) was the founding director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI).

In December 1981, President Reagan signed Executive Order 12333 giving the Intelligence Community a mandate for the years ahead. In response to a requirement to improve intelligence support to the Unified & Specified Commands’ war-fighting capabilities, the functional manager for intelligence processing was established in 1982. The Central America Joint Intelligence Team (CAJIT) was established in 1984 as an interagency analytical task organization focused on insurgency in Central America. DIA also created the Intelligence Communications Architecture to improve DoD’s ability to disseminate national level intelligence to tactical commanders during contingency situations. The concept of intelligence as a “force multiplier in crises” became a predominant theme in planning as DIA began structuring an all source integrated database to support the Unified & Specified Commands in assessing the threat in the field Williams established a Research Crisis Support Center to provide a centralized, operationally secure, all-source, crisis management center to support the National Military Intelligence Center (NMIC) and the Unified & Specified Commands. As events deteriorated in Nicaragua, DIA analysts provided extensive support to the U.S. Southern Command.

Other analysis focused on the Falkland Islands War and Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. When 6,000 U.S. troops invaded Grenada during Operation URGENT FURY in 1983, DIA’s Task Force responded to numerous formal taskings for briefings and information, and distributed a wide variety of intelligence summaries to assist field commanders during the operation. The planning process for URGENT FURY was greatly facilitated by a number of intelligence products that had been prepared as early as 1979, bringing high praise for DIA’s support and services. Other DIA analytical efforts during the year centered on the continuing crises in Nicaragua, Lebanon (the attack on the Marine barracks), Iran and Iraq, and Afghanistan, as well as the Soviet shoot-down of KAL 007, the civil war in Chad, and unrest in the Philippines. A significantly larger number of hijackings, bombings, kidnappings, murders, and other acts of terrorism led to characterizing 1985 as the “Year of the Terrorist.”

Finally, Williams oversaw the Agency’s move into its new headquarters at Bolling Air Force Base. The Defense Intelligence Analysis Center(DIAC) was dedicated on May 23, 1984.[5]

WASHINGTON, April 29— Waldo H. Dubberstein, a former Defense Department intelligence analyst who was indicted Thursday on charges of selling secret military data to Libya, was found dead today in a storage room of an apartment building in nearby Arlington, Va. The police said he apparently killed himself with a shotgun.

Mr. Dubberstein, who was 75 years old, was scheduled to be arraigned today in Federal District Court in Alexandria, Va. The seven-count indictment charged that he had been paid more than $32,000 from 1977 through 1980 for sensitive information about military strength and capabilities in the Middle East.

Some of his dealings were said to have been with Edwin P. Wilson, the former Central Intelligence Agency operative who was recently convicted of smuggling arms to Libya.

Federal officials said Mr. Dubberstein had been under summons, rather than arrest or bond, because he had promised through his lawyers to show up for arraignment. When he did not, a warrant for his arrest was issued. Several hours later, the police reported he had been found dead with a wound in his head and a shotgun lying at his side.

''It appears to be a suicide,'' a spokesman for the Arlington County Police told reporters.

Planned a Not Guilty Plea

Mr. Dubberstein had intended to plead not guilty, according to one of his lawyers, Howard M. Bushman. Had he gone to trial and been convicted on all counts, he could have been sentenced to up to 57 years in prison and fined as much as $80,000.

Mr. Dubberstein, who lived in Virginia, analyzed Middle East affairs for the Defense Intelligence Agency until about a year ago. He had been permitted to work past the normal retirement age of 65 because of his special knowledge of Egypt and Libya.

The indictment charged that Mr. Dubberstein traveled to Tripoli in 1978 under an assumed name and gave Libyan officials information about the deployment of various military forces throughout the Middle East. It was in that period that Libya and Egypt came close to armed conflict.

It was also in that period that Mr. Wilson was in Libya, working out arms deals with the Government of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. According to the indictment, Mr. Dubberstein met Mr. Wilson in 1977 and thereafter began funneling information to the Libyans through Douglas M. Schlachter, a Wilson associate. Both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Schlachter were named as unindicted co-conspirators in the Dubberstein indictment.

Mr. Wilson is serving 32 years in prison after being convicted of smuggling arms to Libya in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Mr. Schlachter is also serving a prison term for illegally shipping goods to Libya. At their trials, Mr. Dubberstein's name and activities did not figure prominently.

---- Last Seen by Companion

WASHINGTON, April 29 (AP) -Federal sources said Mr. Dubberstein was last seen by a female companion with whom he apparently lived in the building where was found dead.

The building is about five miles from the Alexandria courthouse where Mr. Dubberstein was scheduled to appear for arraignment. Sources quoted his companion as saying he had told her he was going to court.

They described the woman as a 32-year-old East German who once worked in Iran's diplomatic mission here, but they would not give her name.

Tom Bell, a spokesman for the Arlington County Police, said officers were called to an apartment building in the early afternoon and found the body.

Mr. Bell said there was no note near the body, but he said officers found nothing in their investigation to indicate anything other than a suicide.

Notes Reported Found

However, the Federal sources said that several handwritten notes had been found and were being checked to see if they were in Mr. Dubberstein's writing. The sources did not say where the notes were discovered.

At the home of Mr. Dubberstein's estranged wife, Marie, a woman who would identify herself only as a friend said that Mrs. Dubberstein had been informed that Mr. Dubberstein had been found dead in an Arlington apartment house where he had lived since the couple separated.

When Mr. Dubberstein failed to appear in court, his attorney, Mr. Bushman, said his client ''is 75 and has heart problems,'' and added, ''I'm worried.''
